Chapter 206 Coping
When Ruyi said this, her attitude was very calm, but Emperor Qinglong who held her hand felt that the little person was trembling.

Emperor Qinglong listened from beginning to end, but held Ruyi's hand harder, and did not speak immediately after listening.

"What Ruyi said is true, and I can feel it. In three years, there will be a disaster." Xiaotian suddenly jumped out, "Good friend, do you believe what Ruyi said?"

Master Yuanhai frowned and kept making seals with his hands. On such a cold day, there was actually a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.His eyes were closed tightly, and he finally stopped what he was doing after a while.

Hey, Master Yuanhai sighed in his heart, no wonder the heavenly law gave him so much merit last time, but today, he calculated that more than half of it has been used up, which is really heartbreaking.

"Your Majesty, according to Lao Na's calculations, nine times out of ten what the empress said is true." Master Yuanhai directly agreed with Ruyi's dream.

The expressions of the people present here were not good-looking.

"I believe that extremely cold weather is the way of nature and cannot be changed or avoided. So, the dream that foreshadows the empress just brings vitality to the Qing Kingdom. As long as you are well prepared, although it is not easy to survive, it is better than a sudden encounter. It’s much better.”

Master Yuan Hai is an outsider and thinks more clearly than anyone else.Others may focus on the natural disaster itself, while Master Yuanhai follows the way of heaven and sees how to overcome it.

"People died due to the extreme cold weather, not only because of the cold but also because of lack of food. So we have to deal with it from two aspects." Ruyi already has some ideas after yesterday's sorting.

"Your Majesty, I thought about it for a while and said it casually. Then you will discuss with the ministers to see how to implement it more reasonably and effectively." Ruyi looked at Emperor Qinglong's face with seriousness.

"Li Sheng, come in." Emperor Qinglong called someone, "Please take note of everything Ruyi said."

Eunuch Li Sheng, who was waiting outside the door, was called in by this shout. Unexpectedly, the atmosphere in the imperial study room was very condensed.

"My slave obeys the order." Few people know that Eunuch Li Sheng has a good memory, and he can never forget it.

Emperor Qinglong also considered that on the one hand, he was afraid that what Ruyi said would be ignored by him, and on the other hand, Li Sheng was the most trusted person around him, so it would be okay if he knew something about it.

Ruyi nodded towards Li Sheng and started talking.

"The first thing is to store grain. In the past three years, we must store as much grain as possible, and granaries must be built in various places. I think based on the current production, the grain harvested in autumn will be enough to last a whole year, so the grain harvested next year will be as much as possible. Don't move or move less first, and then move after the previous year's grain is used up. In short, in the past three years, eat the old grain first to ensure that the grain is renewed every year, extend the storage time, and try to keep the granary full. "

"It's extremely cold. In addition to down jackets and cotton, we must trade furs as much as possible, and use sugar to purchase large quantities from outside the customs. If necessary, salt or other things can also be traded in small quantities. Special circumstances will be handled accordingly."

"You can build as many cement and red brick houses as you can. After all, ordinary roofs cannot withstand heavy snow. If conditions really don't allow it, you can raise funds to build big houses, and then gather the people of the village together, and it can be considered as a refuge. Place."

"The most important thing is the fire kang. The emperor said last time that after the Ministry of Industry researched it, it has been popularized in the north. Almost all the families who have the conditions have built it. Then the south will also promote the fire kang. Every family must build it. If it’s really cold and I can’t get out of the house, I’ll fight it out on the kang. People sleep on it, and there are holes underneath that can be used to light a fire for cooking.”

"Your Majesty, let's promote the fire kang in a unified way in the last year. I'm afraid it's too early and everyone has cut all the firewood on the mountain. By the way, is it still implemented before requiring every family to plant trees? From now on, we will also do a little bit more in cutting firewood. Please try not to cut down small trees, but cut down some old branches without damaging the roots."

"I don't know how cold it is. Is it necessary to move to the south from the coldest north?"

"..."

Ruyi Linzong said more than a dozen things, but Li Sheng remembered them clearly, but he was confused.

"Li Sheng, sort out what Ruyi said and give it to me tonight. Cancel the morning meeting tomorrow and summon all the ministers to the imperial study for an audience."

After hearing what Ruyi said, Emperor Qinglong suddenly felt that he was not afraid of the extreme cold. Although there were still many shortcomings in what Ruyi said, everything would be very practical if improved.

Moreover, with the paving the way for high yields of grain, cement, glass, heated kang, etc. in the past few years, Emperor Qinglong had adjusted his mentality as if he was specifically preparing for this extreme cold.

On this day, Ruyi stayed in the imperial study room until the whole night, and talked in detail with Emperor Qinglong about many things that he had not thought of yesterday.

The next day, Emperor Qinglong didn't know what he told the ministers in the imperial study. In short, after that day, the atmosphere in the entire capital was different.
