I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

The captain said with some dissatisfaction: "What court? Your Majesty? It's our general. You asked me to come to rescue you. Remember, our general's name is Liu Sheng!"

"Have a good day's rest. Tomorrow, your village will select a few young and capable young people to go to the city to join our rescue team and follow them to rescue people."

"I won't let you help in vain. I'll pay you ten dollars a day and take care of two meals."

There was no reason why the township chief could not agree, so he nodded and applauded.

"It was General Liu who saved us. I will have someone make an immortality tablet for General Liu later."

After Liu Sheng noticed the snow disaster, he immediately sent rescuers. Although the villages near Yingzhou City suffered some losses, they were still able to accept it.

With the guidance of some villagers, everyone also knew where there were herdsmen in Maodong.

Liu Sheng also quickly organized people to go to the rescue.

Except for some places that are so remote that even the villagers cannot pronounce the place names.

Most towns, and herder settlements, are connected in a point-to-point manner.

Looking down from the air, one can see winding roads, like spider webs, spreading across the land of Yingzhou.

This kind of rescue lasted for three days, and bad news came one after another.

The road to Shuozhou and Huanzhou has not yet been dug.

Liu Sheng was extremely anxious and didn't know what the situation was like over there.

At this time, Sima Yingzhou came to report the situation of the disaster in Yingzhou.

There is no governor in Yingzhou. When Cai You was trapped in Yingzhou, he wanted the governor of Yingzhou to issue a decree and let the people of Yingzhou help defend the city. The governor refused and was killed by Cai You. The chief governor also refused and was also killed by Cai You. Cut.

The fight remained the same...until Sima was struck.

It's not that Sima has no backbone, but that Cai You gave up.

With such officials, their people can imagine that Cai You would not dare to let them defend the city.

This Sima of Yingzhou had a good reputation as an official, and Liu Sheng also liked him very much, so he kept him. Now he just handles all the government affairs of Yingzhou.

"Tell the general, the disaster losses in more than 100 towns in four counties of Yingzhou have been calculated."

Liu Sheng's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that what was supposed to come had finally come.

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, he found a seat and sat down and said calmly: "Speak."

“Currently, 360 rescue teams have been dispatched from Yingzhou, and 770 villages have been found.

Among them, 3642 people died from frostbite, and those with frostbite were not counted.

1432 livestock and horses, 5673 cattle, and no chickens, ducks or sheep were frozen to death.

Houses collapsed and hundreds of thousands of people became homeless. "

As he spoke, Sima's eyes turned red and his voice choked up.

He knelt down and begged: "General, please save the people of Yingzhou!"

Liu Sheng did not remember that this kind of snow disaster was recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty, and as many as 60 million people were affected in one state.

Could it be that this snowstorm is only within Khitan territory? Or should we only talk about the three states of Huanshuo?

Or is it the uncertainty of history?

Liu Sheng didn't know, but there were hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting for Liu Sheng to make up his mind.

Grain is buried in the ground by snow, but it can still be eaten when dug out.

There is no shortage of fuel in Yingzhou, but now 60 million people are huddled together, and even several villages are crowded together.

The four major problems of the people are food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the cold and backward Khitan, clothes can only keep warm. There is no shortage of food for the time being, and housing can also keep warm.

So Liu Sheng had to solve their problem of keeping warm.

Liu Sheng felt a headache for the first time, housing for 60 million people.

Even if there are ten people in one house, that would still cost [-] houses.

This is such a huge amount of work, let alone in ancient times when production technology was lagging behind, or in later generations.

In this severe cold weather, it is quite difficult to quickly build a place for 60 million people to live.

If left alone, the number of people who would freeze to death and suffer from frostbite is unknown. After this winter, the entire population of Yingzhou will be reduced by at least one tenth.

Liu Sheng paced around the room, thinking about solutions.

Move everyone into the city? It only took a moment for Liu Sheng to give up. The people living outside were also a kind of police sentry. If they all moved to the city, not to mention the various problems that would arise, then Liu Sheng would only occupy the cities of Yingzhou.

The most important thing is that this city cannot afford these hundreds of thousands of people. The most important thing in this severe cold weather is to maintain their own temperature. As long as they can keep warm, most people can survive.

The severe cold and strong winds are the main culprits of hypothermia.

Liu Sheng paused and said to Sima: "Let people build igloos on the snow and let the people live in them first."

This is a way Liu Sheng saw the Arctic Kinuit people living on TV in his previous life. It can prevent wind and keep warm.

Although I have never experienced it, the fact that the Arctic Inuit people have not been exterminated for thousands of years is a good proof.

Yingzhou Sima originally looked at Liu Sheng who seemed to be worried about the victims, and then looked at Liu Sheng's series of operations in response to the snow disaster. He thought he was a good official who loved the people as his son, but he never thought that he was also a master who cares about human lives.

The original good impression towards Liu Sheng was instantly wiped out.

Then he went to Liu Sheng and said: "General, this severe cold is caused by heavy snow. Letting the people live in snow houses is tantamount to asking them to commit suicide. Why bother to torture them like this? General, why not send troops to cut them all down and save the suffering."

Liu Sheng looked at Yingzhou's farewell in surprise. Is this Yingzhou official so strong? Finally understood why Cai You wanted to kill several of his bosses.

Liu Sheng had a lot to do and didn't want to waste any more words. He said directly: "Follow the order and build the igloo immediately. I have my own plan, no need to say more."

Unexpectedly, Yingzhou Sima stood up directly, held his official hat with both hands, placed it in front of Liu Sheng's case and said: "I wish I could never do this move that harms the people."

Liu Sheng laughed angrily. He was very familiar with this plot. Didn't all Ming Dynasty TV series play it like this?

As Lao Zhu said, there are many people in the world who are willing to be officials.

Without you, Sima, I, Yingzhou, wouldn’t be able to transfer?

To Niu Dadao on the side: "Throw it out and invite the recorder."

Sima snorted coldly, shook off Niu Da's hand, and yelled: "I will leave on my own. Liu Sheng, you will be liquidated by the court if you are so reckless about human life."

Liu Sheng was not even interested in raising his head to look up. He had heard even more vicious words. This was considered the gentlest. He was probably afraid that his three clans would thank him!

Niu Da soon came with the recorder, and Liu Sheng said, "I've given you an errand. Once it's done, you will be the governor of Yingzhou."

The visitor was very excited, but also had a bitter look on his face. He knew why Liu Sheng came to him and said: "The general is showing his love, and I am deeply moved. However, my ability is limited, and there are too many victims, so I cannot afford to resettle them. Now I am in Yingzhou." Belonging to the Song Dynasty, why doesn’t the general ask the imperial court for help?”

When he discovered the snowstorm, Liu Sheng sent people to Yanmen to ask the Song court for help. However, Liu Sheng did not think that those courtiers would care about the lives of the Khitan people. They even wanted Liu Sheng to raise his own military pay in Shuozhou. How could he raise it himself? That's not just robbing the people.
