Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 200 It’s Snowing

"Hey, Dad, this is not nice of you. I have created so many job opportunities for our city. How can you treat your daughter like this? You, you are too unreasonable. I am going to complain to mom."

Tian Yuheng watched his father bickering with his elder sister again, smiled and left the study to look for his aunt. After all, he had been away from home for half a year, and his aunt must be missing him.

It has been a while since Tian Xing'er came back. The autumn harvest has just ended and the people have a lot of surplus grain. This year, Prefect Tian has reduced the additional tax by 3%. The whole Yingzhou Prefecture is peaceful and lively, making people forget that there is still a war outside.

"The weather has been getting colder lately. I don't know what's going on. It has rained heavily these past few days. Fortunately, everyone has harvested their crops, otherwise this year's harvest would have been affected." Tian Xing'er was sitting in the yard today, eating fruit and listening to the servants telling her stories. She was having a great time.

"What the young lady said is true. People outside are saying that the master has come and brought good luck to Yingzhou. Now people's lives are getting better and they have hope for the future." Baozhu peeled a fruit and handed it to Tian Xing'er with a smile.

"Yes, my father is the chosen man, blessed by God, and I, a good daughter, help him."

When Tian Xing'er said this, the maids around her were all amused.

"Miss, something bad has happened. Come back to the house quickly. It's raining and hailing." Baoyu wanted to go out and fiddle with some pots of flowers and plants, fearing that they would get wet in the rain, but then he saw hailstones as big as soybeans falling down.

"Why is it raining and hail? Let me see, I have never seen it before." After being reborn in this life, Tian Xing'er had never seen rain and hail. She had only seen it in her previous life in dreams, but it was too far away and the memory had long been blurred.

"It's really raining and hail. Is the weather going to change?" Although Tian Xing'er was happy to see the rain and hail, she also knew that it was not a good thing for the people.

Unexpectedly, it snowed heavily that night, and the temperature dropped rapidly. After one night, countless old people froze to death in the city.

On the second day, flags were hung outside nearly half of the gates in the city.

Magistrate Tian went around checking early in the morning.

"Sir, the weather has dropped so cold that most of the elderly have frozen to death in their sleep. Even the rich families have frozen to death, not to mention the common people. The temperature has dropped so cold so fast that ordinary people don't have fire walls like the rich families. If we don't think of a solution, I'm afraid more people will die."

After hearing the residence reported by his subordinates, Magistrate Tian was simply overwhelmed.

"Did my wife rent a forest?"

The people below didn't know what Lord Tian meant by asking this and looked at him in confusion.

"I'm just asking you a question, is there a piece?" Prefect Tian was too busy. His family had many businesses and he couldn't remember much. He just suddenly remembered that his wife seemed to have bought a big farm and a few hills as soon as she moved to the city for her daughter.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will check it right away." The chief clerk went to check immediately after seeing the sir asking.

"Sir, sir, I have checked. Yes, yes, your wife bought two farms and two hills. She said she was going to plant some fruits so that the young ladies can eat all kinds of fruits in all seasons."

"Okay, take some people with you and inform the people to go to the mountain to cut down those trees and take them back for firewood."

"Sir, sir, shouldn't you tell the Madam before you do this?" The Chief Clerk was a little undecided. After all, most of the expenses in the government office were subsidized by the Madam's property, so these people's hearts were always biased towards the Madam.

"No, just listen to me and go quickly, or do you want the people to freeze to death this winter?"

"Yes, sir, I will do it right away."

Magistrate Tian also knew that these were the result of his wife's hard work, but any help he could give to the people now is valuable. So many people have frozen to death before winter even begins. What should he do in the next few months?

Tian Xing'er heard the servants in the mansion say early in the morning that many people were frozen to death by the heavy snow, so she thought of the villagers they brought back along the way. At that time, some of the villagers did not want to come to Yingzhou Prefecture, but she spoke so highly of this place.

Now it's snowing heavily, and they don't know what will happen. So Tian Xing'er found her second brother, Tian Zhenwei, and...

"Brother, Uncle Zhenwei, I want to go see the people I brought here before. I don't know how they are doing now. Are they okay?"

"Well, I was just talking about this with Uncle Zhenwei. I'm going to take some clothes and firewood and food for the winter to visit. If you want to go, we can go together."

"Okay, wait for me. I'll ask Baozhu and the others to bring some unused clothes and quilts from home. If they need them, I can give them to them."

The brother and sister just happened to think of the same thing. Tian Xing'er packed up a lot of things, packed up the things that could be given away, and bought some useless clothes from the servants in the mansion.

Tian Xing'er and others brought several large trucks of supplies to the new residents' street in the city. This place is usually used as a transitional place for newcomers and it is free of charge, but they must find a house to move out within a month to make room for the newcomers.

"Mr. Tian, ​​Miss Tian, ​​why are you here?" Old man Gao, who had come along earlier, saw Tian Xing'er and the others coming and came out happily to greet them.

Among that group of people, more than half of them are still here and have not moved out, because they want to live together in the same village. Magistrate Tian and his people have provided free loans for building new houses, and they can pay it back slowly as long as there is a harvest next year.

Many people borrowed money, but the new house was not ready so quickly. It was still under construction when it suddenly snowed heavily.

"Uncle Gao, how are you guys doing here? It snowed heavily last night. Are they all okay?" Tian Yuheng and his men asked their men to find the manager here and arrange for the distribution of the supplies, and then came over to chat with Old Man Gao.

"We are lucky to live here. In the second half of the night, the manager found that the temperature had dropped, so he started to heat the kang. Plus, there were many people here, so it wasn't that cold, and everyone was fine.

It's just pitiful. Many people died in my friend's village. Those who had built houses before moved in. It was cold at night, and everyone didn't react. They woke up in the middle of the night and found that the elderly in their homes had frozen to death. "

Old Man Gao started crying as he spoke. Many of the dead were from his village. If they had not been asked to move there so early, perhaps they would have survived.

The more Old Man Gao thought about it, the more guilty he felt.

"Uncle Gao, the dead cannot be resurrected, so don't be too sad. My sister and I brought you back together. If you need anything, just let us know and we will do our best to help you."
