Chapter 53 Snow Disaster

Towards the end of the month, Qingjian County received its first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter, with goose-feather-like snow falling from the sky.

It snowed all night and accumulated more than a foot thick, making it difficult for people to go out.

Zhang Zongxian took out the skis he had prepared and led his disciples to paddle in the snow in the open space outside the fort. The intense learning atmosphere made every disciple's nerves tense.

Just let them play in the snow and relax.

Zhang Zongxian laughed with joy as he watched his disciples having snowball fights and building snowmen in the snow. Having traveled through modern times, he was incompatible with this old feudal and superstitious society and could never integrate into it.

If you can't blend in, then change him. These disciples will be the vanguard of changing the Ming Dynasty in the future. Under Zhang Zongxian's teaching, their thoughts and behaviors will be incompatible with the mainstream society of the Ming Dynasty.

They will only be squeezed out by the mainstream, and they can only unite with Zhang Zongxian to change the Ming Dynasty.

Miss Su and the medical ladies also appeared outside the castle. This was the first time Miss Su had seen such heavy snow since she came to the north.

When she saw Zhang Zongxian, Miss Su was letting the medical ladies play, and she walked up to Zhang Zongxian and saluted Zhang Zongxian.

"The daughter of the people would like to thank the county magistrate for allowing women like me to study in the academy."

Zhang Zongxian was also in a good mood, so he started to blow up to Miss Su:

"Hey, Miss Su, you're welcome. You must know that Confucius said that there should be no distinction between education and distinction. Women should go to school. In fact, in ancient times, women were the ones in charge of the house. Later, when they started farming and raising livestock, it became men's head.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, it was normal for women to be the head of the family. In the Tang Dynasty, women could make their own decisions when doing business, serving as officials, and even marrying. Just like if you want to practice medicine to save people, there were many women practicing medicine in the Tang Dynasty."

She had been taught from an early age that a woman's lack of talent was a virtue. When she heard these words, it was as if a door had been opened, and countless thoughts came out. She tried her best to imagine what it would be like for a woman to be an official, practice medicine, or do business.

Looking at Miss Su who suddenly fell into deep thought, Zhang Zongxian felt very bored. You don't even know how to praise me for being so knowledgeable.

At this time, several outer disciples came over in a panic and anxious manner, saluted Zhang Zongxian and said:

"Master's disciple wants to take leave and go home."

Zhang Zongxian was a little unhappy when he heard this. Why do you want to go home when the academy has heating, food and drink? Do you want to go home and eat dirt?

The disciples were a little unhappy when they saw Zhang Zongxian, and one of them quickly said:

"Master, the snow is so heavy. I wonder what happened to my house? Is it collapsed under the weight?"

Another outer disciple also said

"I want to buy some food and go back to see my parents. It's snowing so hard that my family may have no food."

Hearing that his disciple was worried about his family, Zhang Zongxian relaxed his frown and comforted his disciple.

"How can you go back with such heavy snow? When the snow melts, I will arrange for someone to deliver things to your home on your behalf."

The outer disciple who was the first to speak immediately cried anxiously when he heard that they were not allowed to reply:

Master, my disciple's house was crushed by heavy snow last year, and my father and grandma froze to death. This year's snow is even heavier than last year, and I'm afraid that my house will collapse again.

Another outer disciple knelt down and cried:

"Master, my mother is the only one in my family. She usually does odd jobs to support the family. If it snows, my mother will starve to death at home! Master, please let me go home and take a look!"

The disciples who were having fun in the distance also ran over to see what was going on. After hearing that the outer disciples wanted to go home to see if their family members were safe, if the house had been crushed, and if there was food at home.

They were also worried about their families and soon started crying.

Only then did Zhang Zongxian realize that in his previous life, children at this age were the age where they could play carefree. Snowing, for children in his previous life, was a happy time for outdoor play.

For the children of the Ming Dynasty, whether they could survive such heavy snow until it melted was a question.

This is not an auspicious snow that heralds a good harvest, but a snow disaster!

I don’t know how many people will freeze to death and starve to death this winter. Now that we are here, we can save as many as we can!

Turning to look at the crying disciples, Zhang Zongxian shouted angrily:

"Why are you crying? Is there any point in crying? Our sect attaches great importance to practice and never talks about empty words. Is your family the only one who suffers from cold and hunger? The people in the whole county are suffering from cold and hunger.

If the road is blocked, you, my teacher, will freeze to death on the road even if I let you go back. You must first have a plan and figure out how to get home safely.

Today I will give you a practical lesson on how to provide disaster relief.

All the disciples lined up with me as the center."

After hearing the order, the college disciples wiped away their tears and lined up in front of Zhang Zongxian according to their division.

"The study group is responsible for counting the conditions of all students' homes to determine which students' homes need rescue, whether they need food or bedding and heating fuel. The numbers must be accurate.

The logistics team is responsible for material supply and begins to count the college's materials, and begins to prepare materials based on the statistics of the study group.

The Discipline Department is responsible for planning the route, bringing together students from neighboring villages, and then going to the logistics team to collect supplies.

Each group must immediately report to the division commander when encountering problems and disband now to carry out their tasks."

The relevant responsible organizations quickly set up a framework, and all the disciples became busy.

Then Zhang Zongxian asked Boren to be called and asked Boren to immediately mobilize all the young and middle-aged people to clear the snow on the road. The main roads in the county must be cleared. Let those more and more projects be contracted.

The merchant is responsible for the logistics and food, and all related expenses are borne by the county government.

He also sent someone to notify the Yamen to immediately clean up the vacant houses and warehouses of the County Yamen and prepare to resettle the homeless victims. He also borrowed grain from the grain store to prepare porridge for the people.

We also need to send people to inform the villages near the county seat and mobilize them to clear the snow on the roads. Every meal will be reimbursed by the government just like young people.

Then he ordered Ding Bo to mobilize the people in the fort and prepare to set up a resettlement site in Changsheng Fort. The windows of the unused houses were immediately opened for ventilation, and temporary stoves were set up to prepare porridge.

He also asked Li Jiasan to immediately notify Hu Biao to buy all the coal on the market, and to reserve some more for the coal merchants to deliver as soon as possible. They also had all the horse-drawn carriages ready.

Miss Su looked at Zhang Zongxian who was issuing orders constantly in front of her, and was deeply touched. Although this magistrate was lustful, he was really a rare and good official!

Then he stepped forward and said to Zhang Zongxian:

Although the daughter of the county official has only learned basic medical skills for a few days, she is still willing to do her part and asks the county official to arrange it.

Zhang Zongxian's brain is now running at high speed, thinking about what he has not arranged. When he heard Miss Su's words, he immediately thought that he had not arranged a medical team yet.

Then he gave an order to Miss Su: "Then there is Miss Lao Su. You immediately divide the people into two teams. One team is going to the county seat, and the other team is going to stay here. The team going to the county seat will take my warrant and go to the county hospital.

Purchase relevant medicines and prepare cold-repelling decoctions for the people."
